Ground Engineering

With varied geology and land use history, the UK has a wide-ranging set of ground conditions. That means almost every project calls for sound understanding and innovative engineering to optimise development solutions.

Our Ground Engineering consultancy teams work with clients across all sectors, from water, energy, and transport infrastructure to masterplan sites, mixed-use programs, and industrial schemes. We help develop greenfield sites and regenerate brownfield sites for homes, schools, and other community uses.

Our teams integrate services from environmental, geotechnical, hydrogeological, and material management specialists to prepare your site for the future—while reducing impact on today’s resources. We can be there for you from initial site due diligence through site investigation, risk assessment, geotechnical design, and more.

Using the latest data collation tools and spatial analysis, we distil complex sites—including strata and groundwater conditions—into readily digestible outputs that everyone can understand and use. This helps with early identification of risks, an important part in establishing the viability of a site and planning how the project moves forward. This information also helps us establish the most efficient remedial design strategy and earthworks solution to support a proposed development site.

Focusing on commercial awareness and a partnership mentality means we can deliver approaches such as phased remedial strategies, the sustainable re-use of materials in ground improvement, foundation re-use, enhanced nature-based techniques for remediation, or simply zone the least sensitive areas of a wide and complex site.

If you need practical, pragmatic, and innovative solutions, we can help.
